What do you think of the NC Governor saying Clinton makes Rocky look like a pansy?

Was it a gay slur? Or was he using pansy like the intial definition and only referring to a "wuss" in general?





A few, not many, seem to be getting upset by this. Are people being too politically sensitive? Or is there reason for concern?

If he had said "Fairy" I would be offended.





Honestly I didn't hear this comment at all, but I don't think "pansy" means anything really.





I know a lot of "Pansies" who are straight, lol ;)





However what really matters is what the person who used the word meant by it.





Really I just think he was trying to demonstrate that Hillary is tough, which we all know, it's not like she's the new kid on the block. ;)
Reply:No,It was not meant as gay slur..while historically the term pansy is considered an offensive slang toward homosexuals it is equally defining of any man in general whom are considered weaker, timid or just unassertive by nature.


Many words in the english language have multiple meanings..what matters is the context in which they are spoken. Mr. Easley was speaking to her strengths and will to carry on as a candidate..by placing hers above a character known for his..
Reply:awwwwwww, he called Rocky a pretty flower?!?! :-D





Seriously, obviously, he didn't mean anything by it. People get worked up over the smallest things. Well, I THINK THAT YOU'RE A PRETTY FLOWER!!! AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE, I STILL THINK YOU ARE!!! jeez, pansy can mean many different things. Doesn't mean that the world has to go to shreds. I'm an Obama supporter, and I still think this is B.S.
Reply:It was a completely overstated motivational ad. No gay slur. Duh. It was a dumb statement anyway.
Reply:he knows she is tough that is why he is backing her, many are now seeing she is the only logical choice for Democrats I have three professional black neighbors they all hate Obama!
Reply:Hillary is tough unlike limp wrist Barry Obama.
